Our guiding principle for Leadership and Collaboration: WeLEAD 2.0—
At Dräger, WeLEAD 2.0 is our framework for successful leadership and collaboration.
It brings our values and guiding principles to life by turning them into everyday actions.
At its heart, WeLEAD 2.0 balances two powerful forces: performance and strong relationships. The foundation is trust - enabling open dialogue, mutual respect, psychological safety, and meaningful teamwork.
WeLEAD 2.0 empowers us to combine our diverse strengths, focus on what matters, and achieve real impact. And it applies to everyone - because each of us is a role model, both in delivering results and in treating one another with respect, appreciation, and care.
What WeLEAD 2.0 means for our people—
At Dräger, WeLEAD 2.0 isn’t just a model - it’s a mindset we bring to life together. It guides how we lead, collaborate, and succeed as one team. Everyone plays a role in shaping our culture, whether you lead a team or contribute as an expert in your field.
For leaders: Shaping the culture, every day
As a leader, you play a key role in bringing WeLEAD 2.0 to life. You act as an ambassador and multiplier of our culture by stepping into three essential roles:
- Shaper – You create an environment where collaboration and leadership can thrive in line with the spirit of WeLEAD 2.0.
- Role Model – You lead by example: through your actions, words, and how you show up every day.
- Enabler – You empower others to take ownership, contribute their strengths, and make a meaningful difference.
Your leadership sets the tone — and inspires others to follow.
For employees: Driving culture through action
WeLEAD 2.0 is not just a top-down initiative, it’s something we all live and shape together. As an employee, you’re not just part of the culture, you actively shape and move it forward:
- Role Model – You show what great collaboration looks like through your everyday behavior.
- Implementer – You live our principles in your work — and take ownership for making them real.
- Amplifier – You help spread our mindset and collaborative spirit across teams, departments, and even across borders.
Together, we create a culture built on trust, shared responsibility, and meaningful results.
